Taylor B-W, renowned as Sydney’s Pop/R&B diva, has just added a new potent and soulful song to her discography. In the aftermath of her, Reggaeton flavored, electro-pop smash “In Ur Net,” she released her single “Tears of Coal.” Her past work was largely influenced by the carefree and bouncy pop of the ’90s, but her latest single has a far more sombre tone. “Tears of Coal” is a lively look at one’s mindful attitude when navigating a new relationship. The song features a folk-electronic vibe that also pays tribute to 1990s composers such as Bjork. Ben Montague of Moose Visuals, who also directed Taylor’s clip for the song “Nunchucks” in 2021, has created an intriguing music video for the song, which is being released alongside the song.
Through the use of her piercing alto vocals, Taylor has taken a song that once sounded somewhat vintage and turned it into a modern-day pop classic. It brings to mind contemporary musicians like Dua Lipa and Ariana Grande, both of whom were influenced by similar R&B sounds of the 1990s.
Whether you favor electronic music or more traditional pop, Taylor’s sound is universally attractive, and her enchanting alto vocals will certainly captivate anyone who enjoys music. Taylor’s new track is now available on Spotify.
